PAGE EIGHT - DEFENDANTS ASK SEPARATE TRIALS Grand Rapids, Mich., Dec. 6—Next week will see the first legal fight in federal court over the 135 defendants indicted for conspiracy~to nominate and elect Truman H. Newberry, Unit- ed States senator of Michigan. 5 At- torney Colon P. Campbell, represent- ing Prosecuting Attorney Christian A. Broek of Muskegon, will make for- mal motion for a separate trial for his client. Formal requests already have been made in court for a separate trial by Samuel 0’Dell, member of the Michi- gan public utilities commission and others and these have been denied by the court. It is the contention of Attorney Camphell that unless his client is per- mitted a separate trial, he must per- mit attorneys selected to appear for all defendants in court to represent him and that ‘while his portion in the case will require’but a few hours, he will be forced to spend upward of 12 weeks in court. The motion proposed by Mr. Camp- bell, it is said, will have the support of all other attorneys interested in the defense, as this will be one of the big questions to be raised before the case finally goes to trial. . Seven more defendants appeared in court this afternoon bringing the to- tal arraignments for the day to 25. “BIG FIVE” MEAT PACKERS CHARGED WITH VIOLATIONS Washington, Dec. 4.—Formal com- plaints have been issued by the Fed- eral Trade commission charging the five big Chicago Meat packers with violations of the Clayton Anti~Trust act through the alleged purchase and control of thirty-one corporations handling food.and other supplies. Written answer to the complajnts must be made within forty days and threafter public hearing will be had before the commission. Concerns which the packers are ac- cused of absorbing include meat packers, fruit canners, dealers in eggs and poultry and dealers in and manufactureres of butter, cheese, ole- omargarine, condensed milk and like products, catsup and condiments and leather tanners. GODDESS HAS MANY STATUES @ekhmett, or Mut, Egyptian War Di- vinity, Seems to Have Been a Favorite With Sculptors. The arrival at the Metropolitan Mu- seum or Art, in New York, of seven statues of Sekhmett, or Mut, the an- elent Egyptian goddess of war, pur- ehased in England in 1914, reminds ene of the beginnings of modern inter- est in archeology, for the seven stat- ues, although their history over the 1ast century seems difficult to trace in all its detalls, were probably among the earliest results of-Egyptian exca- vation that came to England. Some- thing over thirty centuries ago Egyp- tian -sculptors were-carving’ such stat- ues out of soll1 hlocks of black gran- “*fte for the decoration of temples; and then in 1760, as the record goes, an Arab sheik, Working at the instigation of & Venetian priest, found a statue of Mut In the sand that had accumu- lated over the ruins of Karnac. Since then a good many statues of Mut have peen recovered, and the strange god- dess of strife, part animal and part buman, as the sculptors imagined her, dwells in many a museum. Don’t Blame Mosquito. We have lately been taught that the mosquito was the only disseminator of malaria, and that we should be safe if we should get rid of mosquitoes. But Doctor Roux, farmerly chief physician of the St. Louis hospital at. Jerusalem, asserts as the result'of his own experi- ence of 20 years and' that ‘of many colonial physiclans, that malaria often exists where there are no mosquitoes. He points out that everywhere in malavial countries the disense breaks out just.at the time when the soil is broken for planting. He does not deny that the anopheles mosquito spreads malaria, but he says this is evidently not the only means of infection. The old theory that malaria was caused by the bad air of swampy dis- tricts or by certain emanations from the soil may be correct after all. Beliefs About World's End. The Mohammedans believe the time of the end of the world to be a per- fect secret to all save God alone; the angel Gabriel himself acknowledged bis ignorance on this point when Mo- hammed asked him about it. - Christianity of all is the least cer- tain about the precise time of the event. Jesus. telling his disciples of the precursory signs of the great ca- tastrophe, -said: “Verily, this genera- tlon will not pass before my words shall be accomplished.” The first Christians, accordingly, looked to im- mediate fulfillment of the prediction and belleved the end of the world mnear at hand. Although the advent falled to come to pass, they claimed to believe in its near realization, Still, centuries followed centuries and the world centinued to live. Snake’s Rattles.

On Fire Prevention day a number of Terre Haute’s four-minute speak- ers visited the ward schools and gave four-minute talks on the subject of the day io the children. Judge Batt at one of the schools made a very ‘impressive talk Just as he reaclied - his most dramatic point one of the wee kindergarteners with a very strong voice set up a lusty howl. The judge was bewildered for a minute, but the teacher led the youngster away while another explained the situation to him:* “Oh, it’s nothing, judge, except'you’ve moved your au- dience to tears once more.”—Indian- apolis News. Wad of Chewing Gum Discovered in Eel Royalton, Pa—John Penning- ton, who has an eel camp along the Juniata river, has discov- ered the original chewing-gum eel. While cleaning eels he found a substance adhering to " the inside walls of a large eel's stomach. Investigation proved this to be a well-masticated wad of chewing gum. The cud probably had been in the mouth of a fair damsel who , canoed on-the moonlit waters of the river, listening to a lover’s croonings, and in a fit of rare ecstasy dropped the gum from her lips, it being gobbled up by the eel who happened that way. The wad of gum plainly showed the marks of human teeth, 4 Woman Holds Prisoners. Sandusky, O.—A broomstick, wield- ed by Mrs. ‘Charles J.
